Poetry

Dublin: Gill & Macmillan

The Scottish poets included here are Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott, Edwin Muir, Hugh MacDiarmuid, Kathleen Raine and, of course, the most popular of all, Robert Burns. Each poem is partnered by an evocative photograph of an aspect of Scotland that both complements the subject of the verses and provides a beautiful record of this unique land. With images from Wester Ross to the Outer Hebrides, from Sutherland to Inverness-shire, these pictures evoke the many faces of Scotland throughout the year. "A Treasury of Scottish Verse" combines landscape and language in an attractive and rewarding combination that the reader will return to again and again. Other books by Fleur Robertson are: "Irish Ballads", "A little Bit of Ireland", and, "A Rich and Rare Land".
